Screenings and Other Events

The Academy’s screenings and events program is designed to provide Members with the best possible viewing experience for voting and educational purposes. For this reason, we ask Members and their guests to abide by the following rules:

Members are asked not to register for a screening unless they are reasonably certain that they will attend.

Members may book for themselves and one guest unless otherwise stated. Bookings are non-transferable, and unaccompanied guests are not permitted.

Members must cancel their booking (including guest tickets) by 12pm midnight of the day prior to the screening or event (unless otherwise indicated). This affords other Members the opportunity to take the canceling Member’s place.

Members who miss three (3) screenings without cancelling within a thirty (30) day period will be suspended from registering for screenings for thirty (30) days.

In order to ensure a full house, the Wait List for the event will be opened forty-eight (48) hours before the screening and these seats will be filled on a first- come, first- served basis.

BAFTA New York is committed to a policy of punctual commencement of all screenings. To insure that our screenings accommodate the greatest possible number of Members and permitted guests, and, as is customary with virtually all other screening procedures, some screenings are overbooked. Members are thus reminded to always arrive as early as possible, as seating is on a "first-come, first-served" basis. So that seat availability is equitably shared, Mmembers may save only one seat for a guest or friend.

Seating is not guaranteed.

The check-in desk for all Members will close five minutes before start time to allow everyone to find a seat. If the check-in desk has closed when a Mmember arrives, that Mmember will be counted as a no-show. Members may not request that their name be checked off on the reservation list after the check-in desk has closed.

Latecomers will not be admitted.

Attendees should not disrupt or disturb the viewing experience of others. Therefore:

Mobile phones and electronic devices must be switched off completely throughout the screening (and for screenings followed by a Q&A, throughout the duration of the interview) or event.

There should be absolutely no talking during screenings.

For screenings, attendees should remain in their seats until the end of the closing credits. For screenings followed by a Q&A, Mmembers and their guests should remain for the duration of the interview.

The use of cameras or recording equipment of any kind is strictly prohibited at screenings and events without the prior authorization of BAFTA New York. Any notes or authorized photographs or recordings taken during an event cannot be published in any form without prior authorization by the BAFTA New York.

Participants at Q&As are guests of BAFTA New York and should be treated with the utmost respect.

Many screenings are held in private theatres. Please observe the venue policies with respect to eating and drinking as indicated through signage or verbal request.

In order to preserve high standards, we ask Mmembers to actively enforce the above rules. Please contact Membership ([email protected]) if you witness inappropriate behavior or any conduct in contravention of these rules. Any Members who break these rules will be contacted by the Academy and disciplinary action may be taken.

The Board may empower the Screening Committee has been authorized to impose an immediate suspension of screening privileges for a documented violation of the Code of Conduct including the refusal to comply with a request or instruction from the [main] Screening Committee volunteer at a screening or similar discourteous behavior. Such, which suspension shall take place immediately but the. Notwithstanding such immediate suspension, a suspended Mmember shall still be entitled to notice and a hearing as provided herein.
